Transport
Elland is served by the Calder and Hebble Navigation, opened to the town in the late 16th century to serve the growing industrialisation of the Calder Valley.
It was served by Elland railway station until closure in 1962; however, the line is still in use as a passenger service for the Caldervale Line.
The A643 road begins in Leeds and ended in Elland. It passes Leeds United AFC's football ground, Elland Road. It now ends at junction 23 of the M62 Motorway.

Famous quotes containing the word transport:
“One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
